In fairness, EFDSS is quite effective at what it does. It provides a lot of resources for educators, runs conferences for those involved in research, and of course the library is invaluable especially as so much is now online. If you live close enough there are lots of events and courses at the House. But it seems to take no interest in, and offers no support for, grass-roots activities. What it does is actually quite limited in scope.

A sports organisation I am a member of offers lots of resources and to its member clubs. When I asked EFDFSS for advice in connection with a series of dances I was involved in running I didn't even get a reply.
